I can understand why you dont understand some of our humor, but then I guess you could say the same about Oz members not understanding UK humor 100%.

Hi Rakey,

Glad you posted a picture of VB

I can't imagine what would have happened if you had posted a picture of Fosters

That would have been a major cross cultural faux pas

Cheers

no one in their right mind drinks that knats phish!!

mind you Fosters pit girls are making it more appealing whenever I see pics of them

Was educated a few years back on Visitors Beer, and a few other brands, still crave for a Carlton Cold which you don't get here

Think next year its time for a return to Australia

Carlton Cold

ButtonIt · Apr 16th, 2005, 01:20 PM

You can get Carlton Cold in this country

but you have to know a friendly landlord

I've been drinkin it for years in London, one of my fave bottled lagers.

If you can find a Walkabout pub, and let's face it, who can't

, then you'll also find CC in there

Ooh VB... Stands for Very Bad!

Why, why didn't I stop at ten? My son can drink twice as many of 'em as I can and he's only ten....hang on..he's twenty one...Geez they grow up quick

Now lads, all I'm wondering is... maybe they do sell Carlton Cold over there but it's been 'rebadged' as 'Carlton warm!'

I suppose when there have been attempts at threatening moderators and hacking accounts you loose a bit of your sense of humour around the place

Anyway, I guess it goes to show you can't post something without people jumping to conclusions, or then half a dozen getting the flame throwers out

So please just think before you post, of how everyone will react to it, not just your group of close friends

Sorry to interrupt your beer party.... I just want to know something Rakey, (before I join you guys):

I always thought that smileys were just that, cute little thingies, which even when they look mad, are still cute and sort of lighthearted... I understand that writing in capitals ALL OF THE BLOODY TIME is considered as really rude and a big no-no.

I always used the mad smiley, when disagreeing with someone, but trying to not offend ('cause their cute, remember?)... guess I better don't do that anymore, hey?

So why are these mad smilies "legal" on the board, when they aim to offend?

Let's have a beer!

like tolls, taxes, car theives and vandals
